Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Managing projects involves being able to deal with uncertainty andcomplexity in the workplace, but traditional management models havesevere limitations under these circumstances. We require new paradigmsto help us make sense of the world in which we live and work.This book is the result of many workshops and courses for projectleaders working in a variety of settings in low- and middle-incomecountries. It brings together some of the thoughts of leading managementwriters in an accessible form, using fictitious case studies toillustrate important points. The various activities described can beused in workshops, by project leaders and managers. The book is ofinterest to project leaders both in the governmental (public) andvoluntary sector as well as members of non-governmental organisationsfrom a wide range of disciplines, e.g. health, agriculture and communitydevelopment. 224 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Pure appl. geophys., by 161 nations. Entry of the treaty into force, however, is still uncertain since it requires ratification by all 44 nations that have some nuclear capability and, as of 15 June 2001, only 31 of those nations have done so. Although entry of the CTBT into force is still uncertain, seismologists and scientists in related fields, such as radionuclides, have proceeded with new research on issues relevant to monitoring compliance with it. Results of much of that research may be used by the International Monitoring System, headquartered in Vienna, and by several national centers and individual institutions, to monitor compliance with the CTBT. New issues associated with CTBT monitoring in the 21st century have presented scientists with many new challenges. They must be able to effectively monitor com pliance by several countries that have not previously been nuclear powers. Effective monitoring requires that we be able to detect and locate much smaller nuclear events than ever before and to distinguish them from small earthquakes and other types of explosions. We must have those capabilities in regions that are seismically active and geologically complex, and where seismic waves might not propagate efficiently. 440 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Many physical problems are meaningfully formulated in a cylindrical domain. When the size of the cylinder goes to infinity, the solutions, under certain symmetry conditions, are expected to be identical in every cross-section of the domain. The proof of this, however, is sometimes difficult and almost never given in the literature. The present book partially fills this gap by providing proofs of the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to various important cases of linear and nonlinear problems in the theory of elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations.The book is a valuable resource for graduates and researchers in applied mathematics and for engineers. Many results presented here are original and have not been published elsewhere. They will motivate and enable the reader to apply the theory to other problems in partial differential equations. 181 pp. Englisch.
